Trinity Health offers many nursing scholarships each year. Any student who is accepted into a North Dakota nursing program is eligible to apply for the scholarship / loan program. The program may allow for up to $2000 per semester per student PLUS a $250 stipend each month if employed while attending school.

If the student obtains employment as a nurse with Trinity within 90 days of degree completion, the loan does not require repayment until the anniversary of their graduation date (otherwise, payments begin immediately). Additionally, if employment is continued past the anniversary date of employment in applicable RN or LPN position a $2000 bonus is paid and deducted from the employees check annually toward repayment of the loan.
